Re: Guns N' Roses Names Dj Ashba As Band's Newest Axeman
If Robin didn't want to be in the band anymore, how can u blame Axl for that?
Should Axl wait till 2010 to tour?
I think Robin didn't want to be in the band cause he realized Axl is a fuck case.
Look at how he has promoted this album.
I wouldn't want to be in a band with an unpredictable jack ass, who destroys the best post Slash line-up he has ever had.
Is it really that hard to get your shit together? Apparently, for Axl Rose it is.
You have had Slash, Duff, Josh Freese, Buckethead and Robin Finck quit on you. I think that says something about the person they work with.
If Axl keeps his band members in the loop like he does with his fans, how can anyone predict that he would finally release his album this last year? Likely, Robin committed to touring with a band that wanted him and was going to be actually doing some studio work and touring, instead of jerking off in a corner crying about Slash and the evil record executives.
He (Axl) had his chance to fix this situation and clearly his ego was too much for him to do anything. I can't wait for the blame card on Robin.
I can't wait to support NIN when the come to my town.
It's too bad that Axl blew his chance. What a waste of talent and time.
P.S. I find it hilarious this band might try a stadium tour. Like they would have to open up for a band like U2. They could not headline a stadium tour unless it was a big festival and even then I doubt the majority of people would want to see this band headling as there are far superior bands. It could work if they did a hair metal style tour, with shit bands like Poison. I doubt a band like U2 would want Guns N' Roses opening for them as they are a unreliable band.
P.P.S. I think new Guns N' Roses could definitely headline small venues like 5000 tops and maybe like fairs, casinos etc...

That argument just doesn't hold. The problem is with Robin, for whatever reason.
Robin had an issue with Axl, so he goes and works for Trent fucking Reznor? In that case, he's gotta be the dumbest mother fucker to ever live. Who's next? Billy Corgan?

If Axl spends another lifetime putting out an album, he'll immediately doom this 'fresh start' to be another epic lameness event,
That could happen but there are also reasons it may not. Perhaps this group of people will connect better with Axl. The old band (esp Slash and Izz) would have been unhappy about taking orders from Axl when they helped to build the band (understandable and I think Izzy has said as much even).
The 2002 band had some people with unusual personalities. Bucket is a great player but he does seem to be VERY excentric. I've also read that Robin was never too comftorable having him in the band, and his multiple departures to NIN, and modification of slash's parts, suggest he was never too comftorable in the role he was given IMO.
This new band - its got RON and Ashba - two people who are known to be easy to work with and not ego centric. They've joined GNR in full knowlegge that there are multiple players (unlike fink) and free from ego of feeling its your own baby (unlike the original players) and also with a knowledge of the possible 'risks' of working with Axl...(they've seen the delays, riots etc).
I'm not blaming the old members at all for what's happened, i'm just saying Axl is who he is and that won't change, but it doesnt mean that a group of people can't come along who are better able to cope with who he is to get results out faster than before. Or not. Time will tell I guess.
Also...some of the legal dramas and relationship issues that no doubt stole some focus from Axl have ended now. There will always be some drama with GNR, but when Axl is happy he does seem to get some things done. Eg the 2006 tour. If the new band makes him happy - an album doesnt have to take as long as CD did.

Axl mentioned in one of his chats that Robin's work for the future album(s?) is complete. I hope that Axl doesn't make this new fella record these parts out of respect for Finck, and also because it would inevitably delay a release.

Oh, its a guarantee Finck's parts are history.

I think it says a lot about Axl and how hard it is to work with him (for him 
). Robin leaves Axl for Trent and Slash N' Duff think that Scott Weiland is easier to work with. I think Tommy will leave next, if the tour plans get nixed, or when the tour is over and the next huge waiting game begins.

^^ Interesting that the admins at "MYGNR" and "HTGTH" were given this news over an hour before it was posted on the official site.
No. They all got it from the GN'R Myspace. It was posted there an hour before it hit the official site.
